Miguel Cabrera stayed in good shape while recovering from surgery on his right foot, putting him ahead of schedule with the Detroit Tigers this spring.

Cabrera wasn't allowed to put weight on his right foot until around the holidays, but the slugger was able to work out more than previous reports had suggested.

"I see everybody talk about I don't do too much, but I was doing a lot," Cabrera said. "I was doing a lot with my legs, but with no weight. I think it was more flexible, more getting my strength. I feel my power back with a lot of repetition, low-weight, high-rep.

"The only thing I didn't do was run -- run the field, run the bases. That's the only thing I didn't do this offseason."
